To all whom. it moy Consent: l

Be it known that we, Err Sonar., WILLIAM (low, and Josemi STRETCH.citizens of the lfnited States. and residents et .New York city, countyand. State or' New York, Wood haven, Queens eountv, New York, and Freeport, Nassau County, New `fork, respeo` tively, have invented certainnew and useful improvements in Monolitliio Constructions, of which thefollowing is a Speeilieation.

The. object of our invent-ion is toprovide a ivall. partition, or thelike which shall loe tire proof. and at the same time provide an airspace for insulating and analogous pur shall he relaA tively cheap toconstruct and efficient .in use.

Our invention comprises the' novel details oli' improvement andcombinations of ,parts that 'will be more fully hereinafter sel' .forthllet'erenee is to he had to the accompanying' drawings. .formingpartllereof, wherein,

Figure l is a nerspeotive detail View, partl)Y in section, or a portionvof a wall embodying our improvements; Fig. 2 is a hori-l zontal detailsertion, and Fig. Pl is a vertical detail section.

In the accompanying drawings, in which similar numerals of referenceindicate oorresponding parts inthe several Views, the numeral lindicates studs or posts whieh are erected on end at suitable distancesapart in line with each other, and are referably made of metal, thestuds shown eilig substantially S-shape in cross section The lie rods orthe like 2.

0n one side of studs l are. secured any desired number of spacers 3,preferably of metal, shown having their ends turned up and down, andwhich may be riveted. to studs l, and at the outer ends of spacers 3suitable foraminous metal sheets #i are Secured, as by rivets 5, suolias wire netting, expanded metal or the like. At the opposite sides oredges oi" studs l. foraminous metal 6, such .as ivire lath, expandedmetal 0r the like is secured. Between the material/#l and -6 is a spaceWhich is illed in solid with lireproot' material. suoli as concrete 8,which, in the example illustrated exit-ends hel'u'een the l adjacentstuds l, andthe continuous run ol suoli eonerete alongcorrespondingsides of the studs emheds the latter in the concrete, i At. 9 the outersurface otithe iiorainiuous mal teria] 4 is covered with a suitabletlnislnsueh as' plaster, concrete ortlie like. which ad. heres tomaterial 4 as well as to the Concrete 8 by passing through the mesh. i

At the sides of studs adjacent the foraminous material 6 are secured'spacers l0, which may he Similar to spacers 3, and to the outer ends ofspacers l() is secured {omininous material l1 panded metal or the like,which, being 'at a distance from material 6, provides a s ace Al2 thatextends along the side ot the wa l as shown. At 13 is anishiug layer orCoating of plaster, concrete or the like. shown ap' pliedupon theexterior of material 11,'the air space 12 thus being inelosed tightlybetween the concrete-8 and the uishing materif A By mea-ns of ourimprovements the main part of. the wall Imay be solidly huilt. up of'concrete, studs and foraminous materia 'as 'the concrete will embed thespacers 3 inthe continuous wall as Well as embedding the studs l asbefore explained', and the air space- 12 will serve as an insulator.'The concrete portion of the wall maxY he exterior of. thebuilllilrgwhile the air spare may be on .thel interior thereof, wherebya strong: exterior wall is secured, and the interior wall comprisingtlle foramim-)us material l1 such as wire netting, ex- V` and theplaster or similar material 13 will be supported and braced vh v thespacers l0. We have shown the beam lll resting upon studs l, to whichSaid beam may he secured,

as by cleats 15 `shown securing the' upper stud lB to said beam; TheWall is thus of monolithic construction 'iu its main parts with anairspace at one side thereof, 'which may he of extensive with the Wall.

Having now described our invention what We elaim is:

l. The combination ot' a series of studs spaced apart, spacers extendingfrom the saine side of said studs. and transversely to Athe Walls,forarninous material secured to said spacers and to the oppositesides'of the studs, concrete filled in the space between suoli material.spaeers extendingr lromthe same sides of the studs opposite theconcrete, and transversely to the Walls, t'oramirota nous materialseeuredf to said spacers, and

a layer of suitable n'iaterial secured to smid :t'oraminous materialforming an air spare. between the latter and the oonerete.

2. The combination of a series of studs 'i a v arranged m line, spacersextending outspace between said material and @inbedding fooncrete, and alayer of suitable material applie upon .said foraminus material lforming,l an air space between the latter and the concrete. y
